Nice place to stop for a brew. Had range of different cupcakes available. Didn't have any dairy free options food wise but did offer alternative milks. Be aware bathroom is down stairs.

During lockdown Mad Hatters have been delivering the most wonderful afternoon teas. We have ordered a few of the special occasion ones now, and have never been disappointed! The presentation is lovely, the food is divine and all delivered straight to the door for a very reasonable price. We will most definitely be visiting the cafe venue when lockdown ends and they re open.

It's absolutely brilliant. Ordered a sausage and bacon sandwich (which isn't technically on the menu), but they still made it, and it was excellent. Staff are friendly, and it's a lovely little cafe. Only critisms I can say for improvement are: more seating is needed, its usually very full (due to how good it is!), and staff seem very rushed off their feet, I feel that service can be quicker but more staff are needed. Overall, though, it seems like a very popular cafe which is growing well, congrats to the owners and staff.

Lovely little cafe with really friendly staff. I can highly recommend the scones. All the food we had was lovely and very reasonably priced. Shame I don’t live closer or I would be a regular.

This is a great little place in Blackburn. Fantastic food and terrific staff. There is a basement with extra room. A great variety of cupcakes and you can take them away. They do everything from breakfast items. Hot food from hunters chicken on a ciabatta to eggs Benedict. Lots of choice on salads. Great choice on hot and cold drinks. They also stock fentimans brand of drinks. You have to try them. They also have a children's menu and high chairs are available. Great location being so close to town. They were busy but attentive to all the customers
